ALAS, inside the mobi were simply "font001, font002," etc. I couldn't even be sure which was which. I tried to view the font001, etc., files, but, more alas, I couldn't do so. I had to infer the name of the font from the CSS, and of course, anybody could name any font anything, in their own CSS.
Amazon uses their own obfuscation as well, and I suspect that the font was subset and encrypted in INDD, before being exported to ePUB from whence the MOBI was made (as it's a Random House book). So, I was triple-screwed, dang it.
I wish there were a way to de-encrypt and display fonts, for those times when I decide I just "gotta have that," (and thus need the name), but the truth is, if that existed, people would abuse the holy hell out of it and steal fonts. No point in arguing it, we all know it's true. Sad--but true.

There is a tool that will remove the font obfuscation. It's a tool that you know of and use. I've used it for this very purpose. Especially after going from KF8 > ePub. I bet once you know the name of this tool, you'll be doing the facepalm.
The tool is...
SIGIL!
